Revelation 12

Bible Questions Answered:

“Who is the woman of revelation 12?”

Arthur/

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Revelation 12:1 KJV

And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

The Woman is Israel.

Genesis 32:22-31 NLT (Jacob
Wrestles with God)

22 During the night Jacob got up and
took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and
crossed the Jabbok River with them.

23 After taking them to the other
side, he sent over all his possessions.

24 This left Jacob all alone in the
camp, and A Man (Theophany)
came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.

25 When The Man saw that He would
not win the match, He touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of
its socket.

26 Then The Man said, “Let Me go,
for the dawn is breaking!” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go
unless you bless me.”

27 “What is your name?” The Man
asked. He replied, “Jacob.”

28 “Your name will no longer be
Jacob,” The Man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel,
because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”

30 Jacob named the place Peniel
(which means “face of God”), for he said, “I have seen
God face to face, yet my life has been spared.”

31 The sun was rising as Jacob left
Peniel, and he was limping because of the injury to his hip.

Jacob had a son by
the name Joseph. Joseph had a dream …..

Genesis 37:9-11
NLT

9 Soon Joseph had another dream, and
again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I have had another
dream,” he said. “The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low
before me!”

10 This time he told the dream to
his father as well as to his brothers, but his father scolded him.
“What kind of dream is that?” he asked. “Will your mother and I
and your brothers actually come and bow to the ground before you?”

11 But while his brothers were
jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant.

The 12 stars, the
stars, refer to The Tribes of Israel, the sons of Israel (Jacob).

Revelation
12:1 NLT

“...upon her head a crown of
twelve stars:

Revelation
12:2-5 NLT

2 She was pregnant,
and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving
birth.

3 Then I witnessed
in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with
seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.

4 His tail swept
away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the
earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth,
ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.

5 She gave birth to
A Son (Jesus) who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her
Child was snatched away from the dragon
(Calvary) and was caught up to God and to His throne.

That the woman is
Israel, it may be postulated that Jesus (A Son of David) came from
Judah, and that He came from Israel.

Psalm 2:7-9 KJV

7 I will declare the decree: The
Lord hath said unto me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten
thee.

8 Ask of Me, and I shall give thee
the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Isaiah 9:6 KJV

For unto us A
Child is born, unto us A Son is given: and the government shall be
upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor,
The Mighty God,

The Everlasting
Father, The Prince Of Peace.

Acts 1:9-11 KJV

9 And when He had spoken these
things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him
out of their sight.

10 And while they looked steadfastly
toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which
is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye
have seen Him go into heaven.

Revelation
20:4-6 KJV (Millennial reign on earth)

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for

The Word Of God, and which had not
worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned
with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first
resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath
part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall
reign with Him a thousand years.

Revelation
12:6 NLT

And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260
days.

This time is know
as The Day Of Jacobs Trouble, or The Great Tribulation. This time of
trial for Israel, will be some 3 ½ years.

The Antichrist who
help Israel, through a 7 year covenant of peace, initiates the
rebuilding of her temple, but who will after 3 ½ years of its
existence, come to desecrate it.

Daniel 9:27 NLT

The ruler will make a treaty with
the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this
time, he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a
climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up

a sacrilegious object that
causes desecration, until the fate decreed for this defiler is
finally poured out on him.”

Matthew 24:15
KJV (Jesus)

15 When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judea
flee into the mountains:

Mark 13:14 KJV

But when ye shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing where it ought not (The
temple of God), (let him that readeth understand,) then let
them that be in Judea flee to the mountains:

Revelation
13:14,15 NLT (The Second Beast -The False Prophet)

14 "...He ordered the people to
make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally
wounded and then came back to life.

15 He was then permitted to give
life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the
beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.

Revelation
14:9-11 NLT

9 Then a third angel followed them,
shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or
who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand

10 must drink the wine of God’s
anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath.
And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the
presence of the holy angels and The Lamb.

11 The smoke of their torment will
rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for
they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the
mark of his name.”

The beast (Antichrist), breaks his 7
year peace pact with Israel, and places a statue of himself, in the
temple, to be worshiped. Israel, realizes all too late, this man is
not a Messiah, not a man of peace, but a beast, a beast from hell.

Israel, runs to the
hills of Petra, to escape (Matthew 24:15/ Mark 13:14).

Revelation
12:6 NLT

And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260
days (3 ½ years).

Revelation
12:12-17 NLT

12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens,
rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil
has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little
time.”

13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the
earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

14 But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she
could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness.
There she would be cared for and protected from the
dragon for a time, times, and half a time (3 ½ years).

15 Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water
that flowed from his mouth.

16 But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing
the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.

17 And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against
the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and
maintain their testimony for Jesus.

18 Then the dragon took his stand on the shore beside the sea.

The dragon (the devil), knowing his time is short (coming eternal
judgment), tries to destroy Israel, God's people.

Revelation 20:1-3,10 KJV

1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him

a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the
thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed
a little season.

This is the Millennial rule of Christ and His people on earth, a
period of 1,000 years. And after the 1,000 years, he is loosed to go
out and deceive all, who he can, but he is taken ….

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall
be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
